How to Keep Heat Out of Windows
In colder climates, heat loss through windows can increase energy consumption for heating – in warmer climates, it can lead to higher cooling costs. Why does this happen? Windows allow sunlight to pass through, which heats the interior. Glass is also a poor insulator; heat can transfer easily from the outside to the inside.
Gaps around windows or poorly sealed frames also cause air leakage. Replacing windows is a significant investment, but there’s good news to share. Energy-efficient insulated window coverings help minimize heat transfer, improving comfort and reducing energy bills. Locally owned and operated, we have years of experience helping our friends and neighbors find the right window treatments for their homes.
Understanding Heat Loss through Windows
Windows are a common weak point in a home's insulation system. Heat can escape through windows through conduction, convection, and radiation:
- Conduction occurs when heat travels through different parts of the window.
- Convection happens as warm air near the window rises and cool air replaces it, creating a constant heat exchange cycle.
- Windows can also absorb and emit radiant heat, further contributing to heat loss.
The Benefits of Insulated Window Coverings
Insulated window coverings provide a barrier against heat transfer, helping to reduce energy consumption and maintain comfortable indoor temperatures. Duette® Cellular Shades are an excellent example of insulated window treatments highly rated for functionality and style.
These shades feature a unique cellular design that traps air, creating a buffer zone between the window and your home’s interior. It effectively minimizes heat transfer, keeping your space cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Duette® Cellular Shades also received a 2024 Good Housekeeping Renovation Award for excellence and innovation.
Using Duette® Cellular Shades to Combat Heat
If you want to know how to keep heat out of windows with Duette® Cellular Shades, here are some ideas:
- Mounting Options: Duette® Cellular Shades can be installed inside or outside window frames, providing flexibility to suit your style and architectural constraints. Mounting them on the outside adds an extra layer of insulation.
- Top-Down, Bottom-Up Operation: This clever operating system lets you lower these insulated window coverings from the top or raise them from the bottom. You control the sunlight entering your space with a gentle push or pull. By lowering the top of the shade, you block direct sunlight while allowing natural light to filter through, minimizing heat gain.
- Light Filtering vs. Room Darkening: Duette® Cellular Shades come in various luxury fabrics, ranging from sheer to room-darkening materials. Light-filtering fabrics allow natural light to enter while reducing glare and heat buildup; room-darkening fabrics provide maximum light control and insulation. That makes them ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, and media rooms where light and temperature regulation are essential.
- Specialty Shapes and Sizes: You can customize Duette® Cellular Shades to fit any window size or configuration. That ensures a snug fit, eliminating those pesky light gaps!
